Probate is the legal process by which an individual’s estate is administered through the Court when he or she died without a living trust, and either has real property and/or assets valued at over $150,000.00. Probate can be a long and costly process. Even simple probates often take a year or more to complete.
The attorneys at Bryant Elder Law work closely with our clients to create a living trust that will serve their needs. When you begin to think about creating a living trust, some important questions to consider are:
- Who do you trust to make financial decisions?
- Which of your assets have the most value?
- Who do you want to inherit your assets? How will they be split?
- How old should your beneficiaries be when they receive their inheritance?
- What happens if you become incapacitated?
These questions a good starting place, however, it is important to discuss your personal goals and needs with an attorney to ensure your wishes are implemented correctly through a well-written trust. Simply fill out the form on this page and we will contact you right away.
